The Revelation to the Shepherds

 ܢ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܪܥܝܬܗܘܢ

8 Now, Rautha {Shepherds} were there in that athra {region} that they were lodging, and they were keeping watch there at night, over maryathhun {their flocks}.
 
ܘܗܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܗܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ
9 And behold, The Malaka d’Alaha {The Heavenly Messenger of God} came to them, and The Theshbukhtheh d’MarYa {The Glory of The Lord-YHWH} anharath {shone} upon them, and they feared with a dekhlatha rabtha {a great fear}!

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܣܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ
10 And the Malaka {The Heavenly Messenger} said unto them, “Don’t fear, for behold! I declare The Hope unto you! A khadutha rabtha {a great joy} which will be for all the alma {world}.

ܐܬܝܠܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܦܪܘܩܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ
11 For, unto you is born yawmana {today}, in The Madintheh d’Dawiyd {The City of David}, The Pharuqa {The Saviour/The Deliverer}, who is MarYa Meshikha {The Lord-YHWH, The Anointed One}.
 
ܘܗܕܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܕܟܪܝܟ ܒܥܙܪܘܪܐ ܘܣܝܡ ܒܐܘܪܝܐ
12 And this is an atha {a sign} for you: You will find an ula {an infant/baby}, who is wrapped in azrure {swaddling clothes}, and lying in an urya {a manger}.”

ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝ ܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ
13 And suddenly {lit. from the quiet/calm}, The Khaylautha Sagiye d’Shmaya {The Great Army of the Heavens} appeared with The Malaka {The Heavenly Messenger}, while mashabkhiyn {giving praises} unto Alaha {God}, and saying,

ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܣܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ
14 “Theshbukhtha d’Alaha b’amrume {Glory unto God in the Heights}, and on the Ara {the Earth}, Shlama {Peace}, and Sabra Taba {Good Hope} unto the banaynasha {the sons of men}!”

ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠܘ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܡܠܠܘ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܢܪܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܘܢܚܙܐ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܘܕܥ ܠܢ
15 And it happened, that when The Malake {The Heavenly Messengers} had departed from their presence unto the Shmaya {the Heavens}, the Rautha {the Shepherds} talked one with the other, and said "Let us journey up to Beth-Lekhem {Bethlehem lit. The House of Bread}, and let us see this matter that happened, as MarYa {The Lord-YHWH} has made known unto us."

The great army of the heavens Aramaic word is Khaylautha חילותא 

Strongs H2428 חיל is translated as wall, host, able, wealth, army, valour

Abary uses the word hamun which means legion instead of chayil . It’s interesting to see that the Aramaic word Sagiye which means great, the Abary word used is tsaba which means hosts. 

Aramaic uses Khaylautha Sagiye

Saga in Hebrew means increase, large , magnify, grow 

It says they appeared with the Malaka 

The Aramaic word used for ‘appeared’ is (alaph tau)את  (chazayu)חזיו 

So the Messenger/ Malak seen with the Khaylautha Sagiye / large army was in chazayu. Chazun means Revelation as the Book of Revelation is called in Hebrew.

This is synonymous with 

Heb 1:6  And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him.” 

Heb 1:7  And of the messengers indeed He says, “… who is making His messengers spirits and His servants a flame of fire.” 

The appearance of this MESSENGER was a revelation of who He was, ie. The baby born in a stable 

He is YAHUAH, the MALAK who appeared in the wilderness, the Rock that followed them.

Here they have listed word for word for Aramaic with Hebrew spelling.

The Aramaic says they were shouting praises

The word used is משבח which means refrain from moving and be calm.

It was an awe moment for both the armies of hosts and the shepherds as they saw their Yahuah whom they saw as a Messenger but now in the human form.

ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠܘ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܡܠܠܘ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܢܪܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܘܢܚܙܐ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܘܕܥ ܠܢ

15 And it happened, that when The Malake {The Heavenly Messengers} had departed from their presence unto the Shmaya {the Heavens}, the Rautha {the Shepherds} talked one with the other, and said "Let us journey up to Beth-Lekhem {Bethlehem lit. The House of Bread}, and let us see this matter that happened, as MarYa {The Lord-YHWH} has made known unto us."

The shepherds said Marya/Yahuah has made known to us 

The words ‘has made known to us is ‘ אורע’

Which has aur/light and aura is the event they saw right before their eyes. The whole thing was a vision/chazayu.

Made known to them that the one born in the manger/ same word without the ayin but with a yod and alaph

אוריא

The light/aur seen with the eye/ayin was now before them in a manger/auriya.

The appearance/ ריא or רא

9And look, a messenger of יהוה stood before them, and the esteem of יהוה shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.

10And the messenger said to them, “Do not be afraid, for look, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people.

11“Because there was born to you today in the city of Dawiḏ a Saviour, who is Messiah, the Master.

12“And this is the sign to you: You shall find a baby wrapped up, lying in a feeding trough.”

13And suddenly there was with the messenger a crowd of the heavenly host praising Elohim and saying,

14“Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!”

15And it came to be, when the messengers had gone away from them into the heaven, that the shepherds said to each other, “Indeed, let us go to Bĕyth Leḥem and see this matter that has taken place, which the Master has made known to us.”

The esteem of Yahuah shone around them when the Messenger appeared 

The Messenger’s words spoken were as from Yahuah’s mouth.

The Aramaic says this:

 ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܗܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ

9 And behold, The Malaka d’Alaha {The Heavenly Messenger of God} came to them, and The Theshbukhtheh d’MarYa {The Glory of The Lord-YHWH} anharath {shone} upon them, and they feared with a dekhlatha rabtha {a great fear}!

The Aramaic here uses the word תשבוחתה which is translated as esteem/glory and is related to the word we saw shabach rooted in it , which means esteem/praise/still 

The vision was amazing as the Messenger was speaking suddenly out of the calm. Notice Aramaic says this 

ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝ ܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ

13 And suddenly {lit. from the quiet/calm}, The Khaylautha Sagiye d’Shmaya {The Great Army of the Heavens} appeared with The Malaka {The Heavenly Messenger}, while mashabkhiyn {giving praises} unto Alaha {God}, and saying,

Shal means ‘pertaining to/owned by’ the yod suffix makes it ‘mine/my’ 

The next word we saw was alaph tau ‘chazayu’ which means ‘vision or revelation’

The verse should read

13, And from/man (man also means kind of the same group ) My/sheli alaph tau revelation/chazayu to the people /am the Messenger with the Khaylautha/ hosts  Sagiye/great d’Shmaya/ at the door of heavens while/ khad mashabkhiyn/in the awe of praises unto Alaha/Aluahym and saying,

Put together: And from My alaph tau revelation to the people, the Messenger with the great hosts at the door of the heavens who while in the awe praised Aluahym saying

The Messenger came with the esteem of Yahuah, while the Messenger lied as a babe in the manger. So the One who came, came in the revelation of who the babe is in testifying in a vision.

We saw the similarities in the words ‘made known to us’ and the word manger.

Remember in the OT Yahuah proclaimed His name before Masha when He gave the second set of tablets to Masha as the first one he destroyed. This was an imagery of the renewed covenant given to Yasharal in Mashiyach where Yahuah will Himself announce His coming 

Exo 34:5  And יהוה came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name, יהוה.

Exo 34:6  And יהוה passed before him and proclaimed, “יהוה ,יהוה, an Ěl compassionate and showing favour, patient, and great in loving-commitment and truth,

Exo 34:7  watching over loving-commitment for thousands, forgiving crookedness and transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished,a visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

When He again brings the firstborn into the world He declared “Let all the messengers of Yahuah worship Him”

Khaylautha also has the root words chay which means life and chal means bore/hole/pain/common.

Yahusha came out with the life immortal hidden in an unapproachable light 

He came among the common to bear the pain of the common 

A carnal interpretation would see a bunch of angels singing and then flying back to heaven, but it’s like the picture of multiple tongues in one voice. The shepherds heard the voice of the Malak as well as the song of the malakim confessing their Yahuah just as at Sinai. Same voice and voices proclaiming Yahuah.

The whole pattern is understood in this

Cherub’s bowing down at the mercy seat, Kepha says angels desire to learn from

1Pe 1:12  to whom it was revealed that they were serving, not themselves, but you, in these matters which now have been announced to you through those who brought the Good News to you by the Set-apart Spirit sent from heaven – into which messengers long to look into.

Who is seated on the mercy seat?

1Ti 3:16  And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Spirit, was seen by messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem. 

Luke 2 shows Yahuah who told Masha that He would proclaim the name of Yahuah fulfilled it at the appearing in flesh as a man. The second set of tablets shows the renewal. 

Lastly the Aramaic clearly states that the one born Savior is Marya ie. Yahuah Mashiyach 

ܐܬܝܠܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܦܪܘܩܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ
11 For, unto you is born yawmana {today}, in The Madintheh d’Dawiyd {The City of David}, The Pharuqa {The Saviour/The Deliverer}, who is MarYa Meshikha {The Lord-YHWH, The Anointed One}.

Whereas the English translations dilute Yahuah to lord from Greek kurios for lord. The Hebrew translation uses ADON instead of Yahuah 

Maranatha

 1Co 16:22  If anyone does not love the Master יהושע Messiah, let him be a curse Maranatha! 

Maran atha is Aramaic text which was copied over as it is in Greek manuscripts. Firstly this is evidence that the original manuscripts were written in Hebrew and then translated into Aramaic and then Greek. Why would Greek keep the Aramaic word Maranatha intact ? Weren’t we taught the New Testament original language was Greek? The oldest copy of Aramaic Peshitta is the Khabouris codex which is a copy dated to around 2nd century, older than any Greek manuscript.

Maran: this is what Maran means in Aramaic 

https://cal.huc.edu/oneentry.php?lemma=mry+N%20&cits=all

Originally absolute and construct māreˁ ( > mārē), emphatic māryā, but already in OfA the construct can appear simply as mār_. Regularly shortened as a title of respect to mār (i.e., from the first person suffixed form?) and regularly spelled ܡܪܝ‏ in Syriac but simply מר‏ in Jewish texts; pl. mārwān, mārayyā, and mārē, the latter especially in compounds. The full determined form is māryā, but in Syriac that is used only for the Lord God (ie. the Tetragrammaton) and a new form mārā based on the short abs. is used in other contexts, even regularly so in reference to Jesus. Note that in JLAtg the sg. and pl. constructs are both מָרֵי‏; in LJLA also מרוות‏

MARYA is used for YHWH and Maran is rooted in Marya

Phil 2:11 addresses Yahusha as MarYa (YHWH) which is the name Yahuah

When Shaul the emissary addressed Yahusha as ‘Maran’ it was the highest order title for a Rabbi.

In Hebrew, מרן (maran)would be  מורנו (murenu) which is itself composed of the suffix נו ( nu: which means our) meaning our, and the masculine form of the word for teacher, מורה

like the word תורה –Torah, comes from the root י.ר.ה (y.r.h) meaning instruction. A teacher is an instructor.

Hence, in Hebrew ‘murenu’ would mean ‘ Our Master/Teacher’ transliterated from Aramaic

Atah/ATA both in Aramaic and Hebrew means ‘come’

Mat 23:10  גם אל־יקרא לכם מורה כי  (murah)מורה אחד לכם (murah)המשיח׃

Mat 23:10  Neither be ye called teacher : for one is your Teacher even Mashiyach

murah in Hebrew is masculine singular form for Teacher

The Aramaic uses the word 

Madabrane which is translated as shepherd/guide/leader

It’s equivalent to the word dabar in Hebrew

The Aramaic word Madabrane has root words

Mare or Marya which is written as YHWH in Hebrew (Yahuah). We saw this in Phil 2:11 “and every tongue will profess that MarYa (Yahuah) is Yahusha Mashiyach…

Example: Acts 1:24 the emissaries prayed to Yahuah to show them whom they have chosen as an emissary between Barshaba and MattitYahu

Madabrane also has root words ‘maran ’ which means ‘teacher’ 

‘dabar’ which means ‘guide/leader/governor/ruler’

madabara which means ‘pasture/wilderness’

And all these are related to the Hebrew word ‘ DABAR’ which means ‘Word or Order’ 

Yahusha fits both as John 1:1 titles Him as the Dabar who is Aluahym and He is also a priest forever after the dabar/ order of Malchitsedek

Maran atah - is calling on the One in the Highest Order to Come

And Shaul the emissary says here that those who don’t love Yahusha ha Mashiyach let him be herem (in Aramaic) and Cherem in Hebrew)

Herem or cherem (Hebrew: חרם, ḥērem), as used in the Tanakh, means something given over to Yahuah, or under a ban, and sometimes refers to things or persons to be utterly destroyed.

The word itself means ban/curse/utterly destroyed

Lev 27:28  ‘However, whatever a man lays under ban/cherem for יהוה of all that he has, man and beast, or the field of his possession, is not sold or redeemed. Whatever is laid under ban/cherem is most set-apart to יהוה.

Lev 27:29  ‘No one under the ban/cherem, under the ban/cherem among men, is ransomed, but shall certainly be put to death.

Shaul says if anyone doesn’t love Yahusha let him be under a ban, and this would be an apt translation for there is no other ransom but is put to death as per Lev 27:29 

Hence, he cries out Maran ata which spiritually means ‘Yahusha who is Yahuah (Marya) in a highest order as the only Teacher/maran in creation come(ata)

One Torah for strangers and native born

 Num15:15 As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien/gar who sojourns/hagar with you, an eternal statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before Yahuah

Hagar means Flight, forsaken. So what do you see the word Hagar translated as sojourn?

The word used for sojourner elsewhere is tushab which means return. Shab is a verb which means return. As Yahuah told Sarah, I will shub ashub according to the time of life and after this Sarah will bear a son.

The word gar is used in context of someone away from their native country.

Gen 12:10  And a scarcity of food came to be in the land, and Aḇram went down to Mitsrayim to sojourn/gar there, for the scarcity of food was severe in the land. 

Gar/geyr is rooted in hagar. Abraham sojourned as stranger in Egypt, away from promised land . He was in a flight away from the promised land.

From this we learn the ones who came as strangers into Yasharal either were immersed into the Torah way of life or some of them accepted the outward form of Torah and became a stumbling block to Yasharal in leading them away from Yahuah. Just like Shelemoh’s foreign wives who led him away from Yahuah.

1Ki 11:1   And Sovereign Shelomoh loved many foreign women in addition to the daughter of Pharaoh: Mo’aḇite, Ammonite, Eḏomite, Tsiḏonian, and Ḥittite women;

1Ki 11:2  from the nations of whom יהוה had said to the children of Yisra’ěl, “You do not go into them, and they do not go into you, for they shall certainly turn away your hearts after their mighty ones.” Shelomoh clung to these in love.

1Ki 11:3  And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. 

1Ki 11:4  And it came to be, when Shelomoh was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other mighty ones. And his heart was not perfect with יהוה his Elohim, as was the heart of his father Dawiḏ.

They were hagar to their native lands. While others in flight accepted the Torah of Yahuah by abiding in it.

When Shaul likened the present Yerushalayim in bondage as Hagar the bond woman with her children, he understood the spiritual in the natural as the native born of Yasharal were strangers/hagar to the Torah of life in Mashiyach Yahusha which is from above. They were in a flight away from truth into being carnal.

Gal 4:22  For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman.

Gal 4:23  But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. 

Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar,

Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.

Gal 4:26  But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.

They are like pagan Gentiles who trample the outer court and not measured into the Dwelling Place

Rev 11:1   And a reed like a measuring rod was given to me, and the messenger stood, saying, “Rise and measure the Dwelling Place of Elohim, and the slaughter-place, and those worshipping in it.

Rev 11:2  “But cast out the court which is outside the Dwelling Place, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations, and they shall trample the set-apart city under foot for forty-two months.

Hagar was a Mitsriy(Egyptian)

Gen 16:3  And Sarai, Aḇram’s wife, took Haḡar her female servant, the Mitsrian, and gave her to her husband Aḇram to be his wife, after Aḇram had dwelt ten years in the land of Kena‛an.

When Sarah gave Hagar to be Abraham’s wife and when Hagar conceived, she cursed Sarah in her eyes. While the Hebrew word ‘qalal’ word can mean ‘despise’ and is correctly translated, the word also means ‘curse’

Gen 16:4  And he went in to Haḡar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised/qalal H7043 in her eyes.

The bond woman was cursing Sarah and when Sarah was harsh with her she fled Sarah. Why did the Messenger of Yahuah ask her to return back to Sarah if eventually she had to be put away ?

Gen 16:9  And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “Return/shub to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand./yadyah ”

Gen 16:10  And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “I am going to increase your seed greatly, too numerous to be counted.”

Gen 16:11  And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “See, you are conceiving and bearing a son, and shall call his name Yishma‛ěl, because יהוה has heard your affliction.

The time of life where the promised seed to come from Sarah was not yet come and hence she was asked to return /shub to her mistress under her Yahuah given authority. The Abaryt word there is ‘yadyah’ where ‘yad’ means hand and ‘Yah’ is the poetic short form for ‘Yahuah’

They translated the word ‘yadyah’ as ‘her hand’ but there is ruach hidden in the letter.

Gen 16:16  And Aḇram was eighty-six years old when Haḡar bore Yishma‛ěl to Aḇram.

Abraham was 86 years old when Yishmael was born to him and 100 years old when Yitshaq was born to him.

Gen 21:5  And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to him.

The 14 years were significant tied to the Shemittah cycle as Yahuah told Abraham that He would shub ashub/ turn return according to the time of life and Sarah his wife is to have a son 

Gen 18:10  And He said, “I shall turn/shub return/ashub to you according to the time of life, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.

Each Shemittah cycle was of 7 years and the end of 2 more Shemittah cycles would bring forth the promised seed. Before the end of the second Shemittah Yahuah appeared to him and gave him the sign of circumcision in his flesh when he was 99 years old.

Gen 17:1   And it came to be when Aḇram was ninety-nine years old, that יהוה appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai – walk before Me and be perfect.

We see Shaul says, the promise was not to seeds as of many but as of ONE and that SEED was Mashiyach.

Gal 3:16  But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”who is Messiah.

That’s why Shaul the emissary says we were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands in putting off the body of sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Mashiyach. 

Col 2:11  In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Messiah, 

Col 2:12  having been buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him through the belief in the working of Elohim, who raised Him from the dead.

Once Yitshaq was born Yishmael persecuted him and that’s when Sarah told Abraham to cast the bond woman and her son out.

Gal 4:28  And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise.

Gal 4:29  But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him born according to the Spirit, so also now.

Gal 4:30  But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the female servant and her son, for the son of the female servant shall by no means be heir with the son of the free woman.” 

Gal 4:31  Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female servant but of the free woman.

Gen 21:9  And Sarah saw the son of Haḡar the Mitsrian, whom she had borne to Aḇraham, mocking/tsachaq.

Gen 21:10  So she said to Aḇraham, “Drive out this female servant and her son, for the son of this female servant shall not inherit with my son, with Yitsḥaq.

While tsachaq has several meanings as laugh/mock , it also means sport or play.

Exo 32:6  And they rose early on the next day, and offered ascending offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play/tsachaq H6711

The same word is used when Yasharal made a golden calf and rose up to sport as pagans do. The picture is of making loud noises and laughing in deep idolatry, just as the prophets of Baal cut themselves with stones and shouted out loud to Baal and AlaYahu(Elijah) mocked them. While scripture is silent on how Yishmael persecuted Yitshaq, Sarah was extremely displeased and wanted the bond woman and her son cast out and Yahuah had planned it this way.

Gen 21:11  And the matter was very evil in the eyes of Aḇraham because of his son.

Gen 21:12  But Elohim said to Aḇraham, “Let it not be evil in your eyes because of the boy and because of your female servant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Yitsḥaq your seed is called.

Numbers 15:15 the last part of the verse says “As you are, so is the stranger/gar before יהוה”

1Pe 1:1   Kěpha, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, to the chosen, strangers/tushab of the dispersion in Pontos, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia,

The Hebrew translation for 1Peter 1:1 uses the word tushab for strangers and we saw the word tushab means to return, tau is the letter which stands for covenant and shub is a verb which means ‘return’ 

The dispersed Messianic Yahudim have a promise to return to the promised land, not the present Yerushalayim which is in flight /hagar being in bondage with her children. Anyone buying her oil to keep their lamps burning are actually in spiritual Babylon, being carnally attached to her. The true sojourners look for the heavenly country just as our father Abraham did. He walked the promised land but he looked at the promise to be spiritual

Heb 11:8  By belief, Aḇraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Heb 11:9  By belief, he sojourned/gar in the land of promise dwelling in tents with Yitsḥaq and Ya‛aqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise,

Heb 11:10  for he was looking for the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is Elohim.

He sojourned in the land of promise as being in a flight. He didn’t see Canaan as the promised land but the Heavenly Yerushalayim as the promised land.

It’s interesting to see that before Abraham was called out of his fathers house, he had no identity or ethnicity ie. he was not known as a Hebrew. It was only when he crossed over, he was called an Abary/Hebrew

Gen 14:13  And one who had escaped came and informed Aḇram the Hebrew, for he dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamrě the Amorite, brother of Eshkol and brother of Aněr, and they had a covenant with Aḇram.

That is the reason Shaul the emissary gives several examples on Abraham being justified by belief and not works of Torah

Gen 15:5  And He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So are your seed.”

Gen 15:6  And he believed in יהוה, and He reckoned it to him for righteousness.

1. Abraham was circumcised in the heart before being circumcised in the flesh

Rom 4:9  Is this blessing then upon the circumcised only, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we affirm: Belief was reckoned unto Aḇraham for righteousness. 

Rom 4:10  How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

2. The promise made to Abraham was “In you all the gentiles will be blessed “ The gentiles as him have the work of Torah written on their hearts.

Rom 2:14  For when gentiles, who do not have the Torah, by nature do what is in the Torah, although not having the Torah, they are a torah to themselves, 

Rom 2:15  who show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or even excusing,

3. Abraham had nothing to boast about before Aluahym because he was not justified by works but by unmerited favor

Rom 4:1   What, then, shall we say Aḇraham our father, to have found, according to the flesh?

Rom 4:2  For if Aḇraham was declared right by works, he has ground for boasting, but not before Elohim.

4. The promise made to Abraham was not to seeds as of many but the SEED ie. Mashiyach 

Gal 3:16  But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”who is Messiah.

5. Abraham lived as a sojourner with the heirs of the same promise , living in tents

Heb 11:9  By belief, he sojourned in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Yitsḥaq and Ya‛aqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise,

These are the words of David

1Ch 29:15  “For we are sojourners/tushab and pilgrims/gar before You, as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and without permanence.

Here David uses both the words to show that just as our fathers of belief were he was also both in flight/gar as well as tushab/ in a covenant return. When David wanted to build a house for Yahuah when the ark rested, this was Yahuah’s response to him

2Sa 7:5  “Go and say to My servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?

2Sa 7:6  “For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Yisra’ěl up from Mitsrayim, even to this day, but have moved about in a Tent and in a Dwelling Place.

Num 10:33  So they set out from the mountain of יהוה on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of יהוה went before them for the three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

Num 10:34  And the cloud of יהוה was above them by day when they went out from the camp.

Num 10:35  And it came to be, whenever the ark set out, that Mosheh said, “Rise up, O יהוה! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.”

Num 10:36  And when it rested, he said, “Return, O יהוה, to the countless thousands of Yisra’ěl.”

Isa 66:1   Thus said יהוה, “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where is this house that you build for Me? And where is this place of My rest?

Isa 66:2  “And all these My hand has made, and all these that exist,” declares יהוה. “Yet to such a one I look: on him who is poor and bruised of spirit, and who trembles at My Word

Where was Yahusha the King of kings born? In a stable. He said “Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests but the Son of Adam has no place to rest”

Mat 8:20  And יהושע said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests, but the Son of Aḏam has nowhere to lay His head.”

Yahusha said my kingdom is not of the world. When our Creator is in sojourning, how can we be complacent in a strange and foreign land without the Torah of life as all our fathers were. Being away from the promised land from above we are both in gar as well as tushab and there is no Shalum here on foreign soil, but we are not part of Hagar ie. The present Yerushalayim 

There is Echad/One Torah for the native born and stranger

The Abary word for native born is Azrach 

Azrach has root words ‘zarach’ which means dawn/rise ‘Azar’ which means ‘gird’ and ‘rach’ which means ‘travel’ 

‘Rise, gird yourself and travel’ No stopping until you reach the rest is the picture 

Isa 62:1   For Tsiyon’s sake I am not silent, and for Yerushalayim’s sake I do not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her deliverance as a lamp that burns.

Isa 62:2  And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates.

Isa 62:3  And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal head-dress in the hand of your Elohim.

Isa 62:4  No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land be married.

Exo 12:49  “There is one Torah for the native-born /AZAR and for the stranger/GAR who sojourns/HAGAR among you.”

How is Yahuah face to face with His creation?

Yahuah is Light and in Him is no Darkness at all

1Jn 1:5  And this is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, that Elohim is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 

Yet He chose to make thick darkness his canopy 

2Sa 22:12  “And He put darkness around Him as booths, Darkness of waters, thick clouds. 

That’s why we see darkness covered the deep and the earth was formless and void because of the absence of Light

Gen 1:2  And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters. 

Gen 1:3  And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.

Joh 1:4  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 

Joh 1:5  And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The emissary Shaul tells us how this Light came to be

2Co 4:6  For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.

Yahuah dwells in an unapproachable Light, whom no one has seen or can see. When it says no one it includes all angels mighty in power as well.

1Ti 6:15  which in His own seasons He shall reveal – the blessed and only Ruler, the Sovereign of sovereigns and Master of masters, 

1Ti 6:16  who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or is able to see, to whom be respect and everlasting might. Aměn.

Does the Father have a face?

Mat 18:10  “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in the heavens their messengers always see the face of My Father who is in the heavens. 

This needs to be seen and understood in its context. Yahusha says that the LITTLE ONES shouldn't be despised. These little ones are those who are to inherit salvation and the angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to them who are heirs of salvation. 

Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

 1Pe1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Ruach Ha Qodesh (Holy Spirit) sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

The angels when ministering to the heirs of salvation desire to look at the work of Alahym in the heirs of salvation. In ministering to them they behold the face of their Father in heaven (get a revelation of who Alahym is).

 Eph 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all qodesh ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of  Mashiyach,

Eph 3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in Alahym who created all things by Yahusha ha Mashiyach

Eph 3:10 so that the manifold wisdom of Alahym might now be made known through the assembly to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places

Eph 3:11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Mashiyach Yahusha our Adonay,  

The manifold wisdom of Alahym which was hidden in Alahym for all ages where all things He created by Yahusha ha Mashiyach would now be made known THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY to the rulers and authorites in the heavenly places (angelic powers through the earthly council as apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers etc ruling Yahuah’s assembly ).

Yahusha told Philip that if He has seen Him, he has seen the Father. Hence, the Father’s face is the revelation of who Yahusha is as the Light of the knowledge of Aluahym would be seen through the face of Yahusha ha Mashiyach (2Corn 4:6)

When did the angels see their Yahuah?

1Ti 3:16  And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem. 

Heb 1:6  And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the angels of Elohim worship Him.” 

There was a declaration with a context of the world to come of which the emissary is speaking of

Heb 2:5  For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, concerning which we speak. 

The declaration wouldn’t have been needed if angels had seen Yahuah.

Joh 1:18  No one has ever seen Elohim at any time. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare

The question is didn’t the prophets & fathers see Yahuah?

The nebim/prophets /fathers saw Yahuah in visions as Yahusha being seated on the throne and encountered the Messenger of Yahuah in a human form before it was revealed He was Yahusha to them and before it was revealed that Yahusha is Yahuah.

Isa 6:1   In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hěḵal.

Isa 6:2  Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 

Isa 6:3  And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!”

Isa 6:4  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 

Isa 6:5  And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts.”

Isa 6:8  And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for Us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Isa 6:9  And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do not know.’

Isa 6:10  “Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.”

Joh 12:39  Because of this they were unable to believe, because again Yeshayahu said: 

Joh 12:40  “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.”

Joh 12:41  Yeshayahu said this when he saw His esteem and spoke of Him.

Yahuchanan says “These things YashaYahu (Isaiah) spoke of Him (Yahusha ) when he saw His esteem.

Ezekiel saw Yahusha as a man seated on the sapphire stone throne as the likeness/damuth of Yahuah

Eze 1:25  And a voice came from above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they dropped their wings. 

Eze 1:26  And above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man high above it. 

Eze 1:27  And from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw what looked like glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it. And from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw what looked like fire, and brightness all around. 

Eze 1:28  As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the esteem of יהוה. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

We have seen the word damuth before where dam means blood and muth means death and is correctly understood as ‘blood likeness’

Isa 25:8  He shall swallow up death forever, and the Master יהוה shall wipe away tears from all faces, and take away the reproach of His people from all the earth. For יהוה has spoken.

Isa 25:9  And it shall be said in that day, “See, this is our Elohim. We have waited for Him, and He saves us. This is יהוה, we have waited for Him, let us be glad and rejoice in His deliverance.”

Hence, when Yahusha was raised from the dead those chosen by Him to see the esteem of Aluahym through His face will say “ See, this is our Aluahym, we have waited for Him, and He saves us”

Not all will get this revelation, only those chosen to draw near Him will be able to identify their Yahuah.

Num 12:8  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude /tamunah H8544 of Yahuah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 

Tamunah means look alike.

Exo 3:2  And the Messenger of יהוה appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush/sanah H5572 And he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 

Sanah H5572 means thorn

The same word is used for Yahusaph/Yoseph

Deu 33:16  with the choicest of the earth and all that fills it, and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the bush/sanah H5572 Let it come on the head of Yosěph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. 

Deu 33:17  “His splendour is like a first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With them he pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.” 

The prophetic blessing says the choicest of the earth and all that fills it and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the BUSH, let it come on the head of Yoseph .

Yoseph had seen the sun, moon and eleven stars (he himself was the twelveth star) bowing down to him. He represented Yasharal of Aluahym as it was prophesied that the first born blessing was his, taken from Reuben and given to him. From here would be the Shepherd and Stone of Yasharal.

1Ch 5:1   As for the sons of Re’uḇěn the first-born of Yisra’ěl – he was the first-born, but because he profaned his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosěph, son of Yisra’ěl, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright,

1Ch 5:2  for Yehuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Yosěph’s –

The good pleasure of the one who dwelt among the bush/sanah (thorns) would come on the head of Yoseph who is Yahusha as He became the Yasharal of Aluahym , the yachiyd (only begotten) of the Father. 

Wasn’t his head crowed with crown of thorns?

Deut 33:17 says 

Deu 33:17  “His splendour is like a first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With them he pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.” 

Wild ox there is translated as Unicorn by KJV but it means ram/exalted or lift or height. He pushes the people to the ends of the earth. From there He gathers them unto Himself 

Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered

Let’s come back to the starting point for creation. 

We saw Yahuah made darkness his booth and His Light was hid until He divinely uttered “Let there be Light, and there was Light”

Yahuah who dwells beyond time, space and matter created time, space and matter as He spoke His existence from an unknown, unseen, unheard substance by the breath of His mouth which is a double edged sword through the ruach of prophecy to bring about His substance into being manifest in a form, being face to face with His creation through the face of Yahusha. When Yahusha rose from the dead, those to whom the Light shone in their hearts identified as this is our Aluahym, we have waited for Him and He saves us.

The Abary word for two-edged is paypayah

Pay is the mouth and it’s like two mouths pay paYah (Yah is the poetic short name of Yahuah) 

What a beautiful picture we see here, the mouth of Yahuah spoke in the first voice (pay) and in the second voice (pay)

Exo 20:18 correctly interpreted 

And all the people perceived the alpah tau voices/qolot, and the alaph tau torches/lappidym, and the alaph tau voice/qol of the ram’s horn/shophar, and the alaph tau mountain/ har smoke/ashan. And the people saw, and they moved, and stood far off.

This is confirmed and understood better when we turn to the text of Deuteronomy where Masha records the singular voice

Deu 5:22 את eth-These words YAHUAH spoke unto all your assembly in the Mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a magnificent/gadul voice/qol H6963: and he added no more. And he wrote them on two sapphire stones, and delivered them unto me.

Deu 5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard את eth-the voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

Deu 5:24 And ye said, Behold, YAHUAH ELOHAYNU has showed us את eth-his glory and את eth-his greatness, and we have heard את eth-his voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that ELOHIYM talks את eth-with man, and he lives.

Deu 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear את eth-the voice of YAHUAH ELOHAYNU anymore, then we shall die.

Exodus 20:18 uses the word 'qolot' which is the plural of 'qol' and means voices. 

The detail given by the people in Exodus 20 that He spoke with “voices/qolot,” shows us more than one voice i.e. a literal command seconded by the ruach hidden in the command or two tense voices, one His “magnificent voice” which elect hear and understand Yahusha is Yahuah whereas the rest outside the boundary can only hear more than one voice and as they said, they are full of new wine. Basharah of Yahuchanan (John) from chapter 13 to 17 are in two tenses, where Yahusha speaks in first tense voice as Yahuah Himself at times as well as second tense voice as the Son of Aluahym. Those who don’t understand and see His divinity make two different persons out of what is spoken. 

In fact, the miraculous utterance of multiple voices being emitted from a HIM at once! When He spoke the Ten Commandments, although He alone was speaking, He was supernaturally uttering more than one word at the same time! This is nothing less than the gift of tongues, a miraculous form of speech, spoken by the Creator of all tongues, Himself! As He poured His Torah into them, His Ruach used a speaking method that could not be explained, but demonstrated His own power to every single person there! 

All this happened at Sinai which is a root word in sanah where we saw Yahuah appeared as a Messenger in the bush/sanah (thorns)

Heb 4:12  For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

Heb 4:13  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.

Rev 1:16  And in His (Yahusha’s) right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword,and His face was as the sun shining in its strength.

Rev 2:12  “And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write, ‘He who has the sharp two-edged sword, says this:

Two edged sword: Hebrew word for double edge: Paypayah פִּיפִיָּה 

Hebrew word for sword: charab חֶרֶב

Pro 5:4  But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. 

Proverbs 5:4 mis translation in English as two -edged

The Hebrew word there is pah H6310 which means mouth 

Since mouth/pah sword/charab didn’t make sense to translators, they translated it as twoedged sword. The mouth sword of the whore is words that kill and she cannot be compared to our Blessed Savior Yahusha whose twoedged sword from His mouth separates or divided bones and marrow, spirit and soul and brings to light what is hidden to light.

In closing, Yahuah who spoke His substance into time, space and matter from behind the veil where He made the thick darkness his pavilion, He pierced through the thick darkness through the paypaYah charab (two edged sword) which divided asunder bringing forth His substance to be face to face with His creation through a form and the breath/Ruach of His mouth watched over His word unfolding prophecy in time in helping those chosen to see and identify their Yahuah, those who waited for Him. He upheld everything by the word of His power 

Heb 1:3  who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high,

With the substance of Yahuah transitioned from invisibility to visibility, from transcendence to immanence, everything that Yahuah is Yahusha is when Yahusha was declared to be the Son of Aluahym with power. The Son is coterminous with the Dabar which contained the breath of Yahuah. Hence, when Thoma examined his hands and his side wounds, he confessed My Yahuah and my Aluahym.

1Jn 1:1   Alaph Tau which was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life:

The works were finished from the foundation of the world. The transfer of all of Yahuah including His substance and power was ordained and determined in a bodily form as Yahusha, Yahuah rested from all His work as His will and purpose was accomplished when He made all of creation to relate back to Himself. His Ruach would watch over His Word to bring it to pass into time unfolding prophecy to enable us to identify Him.

Eph 1:9  having made known to us the secret of His desire, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him, 

Eph 1:10  to administer at the completion of time, to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him,
